We loved how convenient this property was in closeness to Kyoto station, places to eat, and shopping mall. We did one evening eat a meal at their restaurant and we enjoyed ourselves. The man who helped us check in spoke perfect English, which made it easy with dropping off our luggage before check-in and understanding the accommodations the hotel provides. They did have a “free drink” bar during the day with water, coffee, and cocoa. The room itself was nice. Obviously smaller than American hotels, but we had no issues with two large suitcases since we like to keep them closed up when not in use anyways. It is a little noisy at night being so close to Kyoto station, but we just turned up the fan because you truly can’t beat the convenience.
